Good family car

This car is perfect for road trips with the 4 members of our family. The trunk doesn't fit anything however unless the back row of seats is down.

Wouldn't buy another one

This car had too many recalls and it was always expensive to fix anything on it! The oxygen sensors, lift gate, the electronics, the water pump, the gas mileage was awful, the transmission wave plate, Even when it was a manufacturer's defect GMC gave me a hard time to fix it.

A good vehicle for the price

When it comes to SUV's I still prefer my old GMC XUV But this isn't a bad 2nd. I am especially happy that the heads up display has made it's reappeared cell in a reasonably priced vehicle. The last vehicle I drove was a Chevy Avalanche so I wish the Acadia sat a little higher. Although I liked the Denali it was shorter and while it is a 4 x 4 with a little more technology the substantial price differential made the Acadia a much, much better dollar value. I did not rate the vehicle based on reliability, since I have only had the vehicle a couple of weeks, however so far so good. It has a nice ride, handles well, has a number of creature comforts, and some good safety features.

Awesome Car

Best of the midsize cars. Have no idea why GM would drop this line .... the new smaller ones are not of the quality of the Limited and larger Acadia. I had one and returned it. The Limited is everything an owner would want. Just superb!!

Better than the 2014 Acadia that I leased before.

This car meets all of my needs and is as good, if not better than the 2014 Acadia that I leased before. Only problem is that front leather seats are heated, but not cooled. I probably could have leased the 2017 Acadia with that feature, except that the cargo area is about 20 inches shorter, so I opted for the Limited which gave me the length I needed.

Pleasantly Surprised

Newest upgrades for 2017 make the car complete....space and comfort throughout with surprisingly GOOD fuel economy (with the engine fuel management system) in this V6 -6 speed selective AWD......in excess of a 20% improvement in MPG efficiency over a similarly V6 powered continuous AWD car that I owned before this vehicle(2013 Chev Equinox AWD V6).

Stylish and convenient

This car looks great inside and out. The Bose sound system is awesome. We had a 2009 Acadia before this and appreciate all the new features. The kids love it too.

A Great Safety Designed and Comfortable Car

This has so many great features on it that is hard describe, We continue to read the manuals to learn more about all these features. It is the first Owners manual that my wife has read and showed a great deal of interested in of all the cars we have owned. I specially have found the blind spot indicators on the mirrors and alarm lane indicator most helpful . today I got a blind spot alarm while backing out of a parking spot most helpful. After having high performance V8 I find the V6 very responsive with much better fuel economy. The blue tooth is quite an update from our previous car. there are so many things that I am finding as I drive and read about this car that it has been a joy to own. All of safety features as mentioned are great and these include the elaborate air bag system. The Heads up display is very unique and is great for viewing while driving. To sum it up; we have found this car to safe and very comfortable car to drive. My wife and I love to drive our 2017 Acadia .

New Arcadia
